Adobe Reader form in Windows 8 Tablet

I created a fill-n-able form in Acrobat Pro X, made it Reader Enabled and uploaded it to a Windows 8 tablet. The Sign, Place Signature feature only offers the end user  the ability to use a digital, certified signature. The Draw Signature option is greyed out. Any thoughts on how to enable "Draw My Signature" in the Reader on a Windows 8 tablet?

I understand. There has always been differences between the behavior of the desktop and mobile versions or Adobe Reader and necessarily always will be. The ability to add a hand-drawn signature with the desktop versions was added as an EchoSign feature. When the "Done Signing" button is clicked, any text, signature, and other annotations that were added get flattened, which removes the form fields, leaving just their appearances behind. With an enabled form, the pencil tool can be used to add a hand-drawn signature, but it won't get flattened when saved. A stamp could also be used, but they'd have to install a custom stamp. Signatures placed using the EchoSign "Place Signature" method are added as stamps.

  • Does Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8 support forms with auto calculation?

    I'm using a preformatted form that contains auto calculations.  When I use it on Adobe reader 11 on my laptop, it works.  However, when I use the Adobe reader app for windows eight the auto calculations do not work.   Is there anything I Can do?

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) does not support JavaScript yet.   Thus, auto calculations or field formatting will not work.
    If your operating system is Windows 8/8.1 (Pro), not Windows RT, you can install and run Adobe Reader XI (desktop app with classic UI).
    If your operating system is Windows RT, you may want to try Microsoft Reader (the built-in PDF viewer by Microsoft) to see if auto calculations work.

  • I have Adobe Reader X on Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Printer for Adobe PDF show up in my Hardware/printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers?

    I have Adobe Reader X in Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Adobe PDF show up as a printer in my Hardware/Printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers? And how?

    Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
    Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
    So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again...

  • I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open

    I received an email containing pdf files. I am using Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8. File doesn't open. I am a new user to Windows 8.

    The full featured Reader for Windows 8 is Reader XI.
    Reader Touch works in all Windows 8 systems BUT it is intended mainly for use in mobile tablets - I see no particular reason to use it unless you can'r run Reader XI. Given it is mainly for use on mobile that can't use Flash, we aren't likely to ever see the development team spending their time on this.
    If you want the latest and greatest - at least try Reader XI, not X! (Flash is a separate download, it will prompt).

  • WP 8 Adobe Reader Forms

    How long before Adobe Reader on the Windows Phone 8 can be used to fill in forms?

    Hi Sriniwas,
    Try checking your Credentials for ADS. Seems that either your credential file is invalid or not installed properly.
    Refer to the following guide for configuring the ADS.

  • Adobe Reader 11 w/Windows 7 not responding

    Why does Adobe Reader 11 fail to respond sometimes?  Re-installing allows it to function several times then we get a "not responding" message.  A plank screen is displayed and the number of pages but NO text!  Using repair produces the same results.  Upon 1st use of the repaired/reinstalled reader 11 we also get the adobe message "Cannot find or create the font "Times New Roman".  Some characters may ot display or print correctly".  The text is mostly displayed at this point.  The second attempt to display the same PDF or another displays completely w/out any error message at all.  At some point during the testing process Adobe Reader 11 stops working!  Restarts don't help.  Shutdowns don't help.  Seems only a re-install or repair allows us to correctly view our PDF document a number of times before we have to repeat the process.  Is help available?

    It took some serious bookmark/history crawling to find!
    Here they are though!

  • How do you search bold text in Adobe Reader XI for Windows?

    We create documents electronically that contain bold text for a client. No matter what we try in Adobe Reader XI for Windows, bold text is not found. Is it not searchable? Is there a setting that we are overlooking to enable it? So far, only NitroPDF is the only program I can find that works.

    I just created a small test PDF (test_bold.pdf) with some bold words in it.  Reader XI (11.0.09) has no trouble finding these words.
    You can download the test doc from https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/333accd7-f54b-40f4-b06f-f14a3608f120
    Search for the word lazy that has been boldened multiple times in the doc.
